D had tremendous interest in learning about South America sometime during the month of June and we explored our continent box, worked on maps and read a ton of books on South America. I had snapped these pictures then, but have managed to write a post only now!

| Labeling the countries |
 |
| One of our favorite books |
 |
| We happened to find a sugarcane around this time in one of our local stores and integrated tasting it as part of this unit! |
 |
| This is her replica of the Machu Pichu ruins using the Cubes |
 |
| We tasted the goodies we received from Argentina as part of the cultural exchange |
 |
| We summarized what we learnt. D drew the pictures and I wrote what she dictated from memory. |
 |
| We worked with out South America Toob and D's favorite is the poison dart frog! |
 |
| This is her version of the Amazon river flowing through the rainforest |
 |
| We received this set as part of the exchange, which include the tea and the special mate cup and the bombilla |
 |
| We tried drinking the tea from the mate and it was horribly bitter! I don't know whether it was supposed to be that way or may be I should have done something different. |
 |
| So then we switched to our regular cup and used the bombilla to sip the tea and read some poetry! |
What a great way to really learn from the items in the box. Looks like you had a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing at the Culture Swapper!
